When you ask that question, did you actually read what was written before the "out of the passenger business" comment?
Also, it should be clearly obvious to anyone that by selling off ALL passenger related equipment, even cars that have sat as static displays or little more than junk for the last 20 or 30 years, that the railroad no longer intends to operate passenger trains. Now if they will allow groups to charter trains with equipment supplied from elsewhere, is unknown. But it will be hard for them to run their own, without any equipment.
